国防部长皮特·赫格塞思周三在弗吉尼亚州的一个海军陆战队基地发表演讲时，严厉批评了美国媒体，称：“我们所谓的‘新闻界’反而让伊朗的官方媒体看起来更加‘合理’（即更加可信）。”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took aim at the U.S. media during a speech at a Marine Corps base in Virginia on Wednesday, saying: "Our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable." Why it matters:
这一事件的重要性：赫格塞思将新闻媒体视为对美国军队的威胁，进一步加剧了他对那些基于机密信息进行报道的记者的攻击。
Hegseth cast news outlets as a threat to U.S. troops, escalating his attacks on journalists over reporting based on classified information What he's saying:
他的言论要点：在弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科海军陆战队基地举行的年度演讲中，赫格塞思指责某些媒体成员犯有“叛国罪”。
In his second annual "State of the Force" address at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Hegseth accused some members of the media of "treason."
- 他表示，虽然言论自由很重要，但那些故意诋毁军队及其历史使命的媒体行为本质上是反美的；这种行为属于“叛国行为”。
• While a free press is important, he said "partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they're undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's sick. It's a national betrayal.
- “正是他们向敌人泄露了我们的行动和军事基地的位置；当他们谎报军火储备情况时，他们实际上是在直接危及我们的生命。”
It's treason, actually." • "It's your movements and bases that they reveal to the enemy," he said. "Ultimately, it's your lives they put directly at risk when they lie about munition stockpiles."
背后的背景：媒体关于美伊战争期间关键军火物资短缺的报道引发了特朗普总统及其团队的愤怒。赫格塞思经常抨击媒体，并采取了前所未有的措施来限制媒体进入五角大楼的权限。
Between the lines: Media reports about dwindling supplies of key munitions amid the war with Iran have drawn the ire of President Trump and his team. Hegseth frequently attacks the press and has taken unprecedented steps to restrict the media's access to the Pentagon.
演讲中的其他要点：赫格塞思在演讲中再次提及了那些与“文化战争”相关的观点，强调自己致力于废除平权政策（如DEI和性别平等政策），以推行所谓的“精英主义”。
Driving the news: Hegseth returned to many culture-war themes in the speech, highlighting his efforts to reverse DEI and gender equity efforts in the interest of "meritocracy."
- 他说：“我们不再是那个‘政治正确’的部门，也不是一个软弱的部门。简单来说：不允许肥胖者、跨性别者、留胡子的人、怪异的人或懦弱的人加入我们的队伍；我们只接纳真正的战士。”
• "We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that — no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors."
更宏观的视角：赫格塞思的演讲还包含了一些重要的政策信息：他确认计划将整个军队的将军和海军上将人数削减20%，但同时拒绝将这种裁员称为“清洗行动”。
Zoom out: Hegseth also made substantive news in the speech. He confirmed plans for a 20% reduction in generals and admirals across the force, while rejecting descriptions of the cuts as a purge.
- “媒体把我的这些举措视为指责，而我则将其视为一种成就，”他说。
• "As usual, what the media levels as an accusation, I wear as an accomplishment," he said.
- 赫格塞斯还宣布成立新的自主作战指挥部，这是一项研究未来战争的倡议，将涉及埃隆·马斯克，并启动一项全国性竞赛以选定下一个美国军事基地的驻地。
• Hegseth also announced a new Autonomous Warfare Command, an initiative to study the future of war that will involve Elon Musk, and a nationwide competition to host the next U.S. military base.
